New Swiss Barcode Symbology
With R2 2021, we’ve introduced Swiss QR Code support in line with the Swiss QR Bill, which requires the gradual replacement of payment slips with digital QR codes. The new Swiss Barcode exposes a rich API, enabling easy setup of all required entities to generate output that conforms to all corresponding government regulations.
Newly Released Report Content Themes
With the second release in 2021, we've added more report content themes to the new band report wizard so that report authors have more options to choose from. The new themes are:
Kendo Default
Kendo Bootstrap
Office 2019
Blue Opal (now available for band report as well)
Apply Export Visibility and Settings per Each Report
The report model API now allows hiding an export option, changing its description and changing the export parameters for a particular report. Ty to utilize this functionality, set the respective RuntimeSetting property of the report object using the available report designer tools. The settings would get respected when the report preview lists the available export options and when previewing a report in the supported report designers. The export options will also be respected when exporting a report using the Report Server’s WebAPI.
